BMS monitoring new tropical wave of interest

The Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS) is closely monitoring the progress of a tropical wave located in the eastern Atlantic along 30w, about 3200km or 2000 miles to the east of Barbados.

The BMS says environmental conditions through the next few days favour slow development of this tropical wave and a tropical depression could form by Tuesday or Wednesday.

This tropical wave is separate and distinct from Hurricane Beryl.
